Run Admin Tests

Operator Control Panel

Align Touch Screen Touch and release the screen near the rectangle
in the center. As you approach the rectangle at some point, it

changes color. The color change takes place when the border of
the rectangle is touched. This is where the touch pad and visual
screen should be aligned. Use the Up/Down/Left/Right buttons to
align the screen.

There is no visual effect when using the adjustment buttons. Use the
touch screen again to make sure that the adjustment is how you
want it. Select the Save tab to make the adjustments permanent.

a library. Unlabeled tapes are shown as FULL if the library has been
configured to detect unlabeled tapes.

the number of loops to be performed (must be at least one). When the
demo completes, the tape cartridges are back in their original
configuration.

Run Self Test—Initializes the mechanics and performs tests to make
sure the library is functioning correctly. Tests include verifying the status
of all components; tape exchanges between storage slots, load port
slots, and tape drives; and corner-to-corner slot exchanges. When the
self test completes, the tape cartridges are back in their original
locations.

a tape drive and unloads the tape cartridge to its original slot or to
the first empty slot. Interrupts the tape drive operation that is currently
running, if any. Use the Up and Down arrows to select the tape drive
